Welcome to THE
Lesbian Organization based in Gainesville, Florida. Inviting all women
18 years old and older from the Gainesville/North Central Florida areas
to participate in, volunteer for or become a cheering spectator at our
events. We strive to provide a safe place and space for women to meet,
socialize, play, and participate in activities with other women.

To help us achieve the goal of meeting
the needs of the community, check out our POLLS on
the Activities
&
Community
Links. If you have ideas on the needs of the community send us an
email or sign our guest book and let us know through your comments!!

Lavender
Menace was organized in 1991 by a group of women who wanted to play softball,
and wanted to make the rules of play so that everyone who wanted could
play regardless of ability. For more on our history, click
here .
All of our organized teams ( softball,
basketball
& volleyball) are based
on this philosophy. We place people on teams based on skill level and ability,
so that each team has a balance and all teams are basically equal in ability.
This allows for competitive play, which makes it fun for all players and
our fans.

Not interested in playing?

We have many other activities:
fund raisers, dances, community awareness, picnics and ideas for future
events!!! Join us, share your thoughts, ideas ~ be involved
in and support the lesbian community.
